Trains to Kilmarnock - Station Details and further Information on Kilmarnock Train Services
Kilmarnock train station is a train station in Kilmarnock, East Ayrshire, Scotland. The station is managed by First ScotRail and is served by trains on the Glasgow South Western Line. The station is built well above street level and is accessed via either a subway and stairs or a more circuitous but step-free route along a narrow access road.
The station has a total of four platforms; two north-facing bays for both terminating Glasgow services and trains on the Glasgow to Stranraer via Kilmarnock route, on which trains reverse out of the station towards the junction with the Troon line. Two through platforms serve Glasgow to Carlisle trains, as well as Stranraer to Newcastle services. The bay platforms (1 and 2) as well as Platform 3 are covered by a partly glazed roof and directly accessible from the ticket office. Platform 4 is used infrequently, accessed via a subway and stairs, and afforded only a bus stop style shelter.
The main service from the station is that towards Glasgow Central, which runs hourly throughout the day (with one or two extras in the business peaks). This normally calls at all stations as far as Barrhead, then runs non-stop from there to Glasgow. There are also nine daily services to Dumfries and Carlisle (three of which continue to Newcastle), seven to Ayr and four through trains to Stranraer.
Sundays see an hourly service to Glasgow but only two trains to and from Carlisle. |
